| Core Tip |
Although magnetic resonance imaging remains the gold standard for detecting meniscal and ligamentous injuries, it may not always be available in the acute trauma setting. This systematic review examined the predictive value of preoperative quantitative computed tomography scan parameters in identifying associated meniscal and cruciate ligament injuries in patients with tibial plateau fractures. Lateral plateau depression and widening were significantly greater in cases with lateral meniscus tears, confirming their diagnostic relevance. In contrast, medial plateau parameters and cruciate ligament correlations showed inconsistent predictive value. Preoperative computed tomography scans can provide valuable information beyond fracture characterization, offering indirect clues to concomitant soft-tissue injuries - particularly lateral meniscus. |
